One late evening, our emergency shift jolted to life when a young trauma patient was rushed in gasping for air. His oxygen saturation hovered in the thirties, and every second felt like an eternity as we raced to stabilize him.

In a blur of scrubs and urgency, one clinician secured the airway with a bougie while another calibrated the ventilator’s tidal volume. I paged radiology for a STAT CT, and within moments the team had IV lines, monitors, and oxygen tubing in perfect sync.

When his saturation crept above 90 percent, a collective exhale swept through the bay. That milestone meant we’d bought precious time to address internal bleeding and begin definitive care.

Days later, I watched that same patient stride out of the ward—steady, alert, and breathing on his own. In that moment, the weight of every sleepless training session and each donor-funded workshop crystallized into real lives saved.

Your support equips emergency teams with the skills, equipment, and confidence to turn critical moments into recoveries. Together, we keep the heartbeat of emergency care strong.
